Chapter 0773, Fatal Blow

When they met before the game, Xia Xing and Drinkwater hugged James warmly.

The two can clearly see that James has a very low status in the team now.

Professional football is brutal and everything depends on strength.

In the former Leicester City team, James was still a rotation player, and with excellent speed and dribbling, he was also an important role player.

But now Leicester City, there have been several changes of managers.

The players also changed one stubble after another.

James is getting fewer teammates with him, and the players he has bought at a big price are more valued.

So in the team, James not only has a lower and lower tactical status, but also has a shallower and shallow emotional attention in the team.

Xia Xing and Drinkwater both saw it.

When he was a teammate, James was quite a lively lad.

But now, he is much more introverted, and he is not so presumptuous to joke with Xia Xing and Drinkwater.

On the one hand, it is indeed far away, and on the other hand, it is also caused by recent conditions.

And now, seeing him come off the bench, Xia Xing and Drinkwater are happy for him.

Inside the tunnel of the players, Xia Xing and Drinkwater hugged James again.

"Matthew, I really don't want to see you on the field, you're too tough."

"Me too! I really don't want to defend a fast horse plus dribbling master! ”

Xia Xing and Drinkwater's words, although they were jokes, were full of encouragement and praise.

James looked at the two of them and it took a long time for him to say a word.

"Thank you, see you on the field!"

Goodbye, brothers, things are not people.

In the second half, Leicester City still took the initiative.

James, who came off the bench, suddenly exploded.

This eruption was like a volcanic eruption for no apparent reason, and it exploded in an instant!

Catch the ball on the left flank and suddenly accelerate and sprint!

It's blazing fast!

On the opposite side, Lingard, who also just came off the bench, didn't expect James's sudden forward insertion, and he was passed by him in an instant!

Manchester United's defence is in danger!

Right-back Diogo Dalot is quick to get up!

James easily accelerates laterally, and once again uses his speed to pass Dalot!

Wonderful!

On the line of the penalty area, kick up and shoot low!

De Gea in front of goal made a save and kept the ball out of the near corner!

Manchester United escaped!

Although they didn't concede a goal, they also scared Manchester United fans.

Not to mention them, even Leicester fans didn't expect it.

The stands were stunned for a moment, and there was instant applause!

This applause is for James!

James, who was slowly walking back, looked up, and countless fans in the stands looked at him with approving eyes.

In the former Leicester City, in the era of the Championship, he often saw this kind of gaze and applause.

But now, I haven't seen him for a long time.

It's nice to hear the applause.

At this time, in the midfield position, Xia Xing glanced back at Drinkwater.

Drinkwater nodded.

The two didn't speak, but they both knew what the other wanted to say.

This kid, that's good.

yes, he just broke through, I thought I was going to score.

The breakthrough just now is really wonderful.

Beat two defenders in a row and shoot accurately.

If it weren't for De Gea's top-tier defensive ability, I'm afraid Manchester United would not have been able to keep the goal.

And then, James is still very active.

After a brilliant shot, three minutes later he got past Drinkwater and fired a shot from just outside the box.

The ball slides out of the goal.

This time, even Drinkwater was staggered.

He really didn't release water, and James is really in a god's state today.

On the left flank, the continuous dribbling sprints put a lot of pressure on United's defence.

However, this pressure did not last long.

At Xia Xing's behest, the Manchester United players began to get on James.

That's James' biggest weakness.

During his time in the Championship, he was often surrounded by opponents.

And this is especially true during the Premier League.

James didn't have any skills, he was very fast, and his shooting skills were good.

The biggest problem is that the body is too weak.

This disadvantage may not be so obvious in other leagues, but in the Premier League, it doesn't.

In this kind of confrontation against a strong team, James has no place at all.

If it weren't for Brendan Rodgers' opening side, James wouldn't even have a chance to stay at Leicester City this season.

Given his role-player profile, Rodgers kept him.

The brilliant performance after coming off the bench in this game proved his worth.

But that's the end of it.

After he was knocked off the line by Jesse Lingard for the third time, Leicester's attack on the left side was temporarily muted and rerouted to the centre and right.

And just as Leicester City were starting to adjust their tactics, just as their defensive position was changing, Manchester United suddenly kicked in.

They were choked by James just now, which made the Leicester players forget about the horror of their opponents for a while.

By the time he reacted, it was too late!

Xia Xing took the ball in the middle, faced the defense, and suddenly turned around and accelerated the sprint!

Rushed through the bag of two defenders again!

Wonderful breakthrough!

But this time, Ndidi reacted quickly, and he pulled directly behind him!

Even if it's a foul, it doesn't matter!

It doesn't matter if Xia Xing stays in the midfield, he must not be allowed to rush forward again!

Being pulled behind him, Xia Xing already felt it.

If he forcibly rushes forward, he will definitely be affected.

After all, Ndidi is also a very strong midfielder.

He simply walked to the left, shook his hand, and shook off the pull behind him!

However, at this time, Tielemans had already used this time to get stuck in the middle of the lane, and Xia Xing had no chance to continue in the middle.

But that's okay, it's not bad to take the left side either!

Dribbling to the left flank, Leicester's defence instantly came up.

At this point, even the defenders in the box were nervous and ready to be impacted.

At this moment, Xia Xing suddenly stepped out!

On the left side, he passed!

With still room to move forward, Xia Xing chose to cross at an angle of 45 degrees!

This pass was unexpected!

The Leicester defenders hardly expected it!

And Ighalo, who didn't play much in this game, was unmarked at the back of the penalty area at this time!

Morgan quickly defended up, but it was too late!

Odion Ighalo leaps high and heads the ball into goal!

It's close to the goal and there's nothing Schmeichel can do!

The ball hits the net!

2 to 1!

Manchester United overtake the score!

This collaboration is wonderful!

The fatal blow completely broke the Leicester City defense!

At this time, Morgan and Schmeichel in the penalty area were in a bad mood, and the two looked at each other and were speechless.

The defense just now, a mistake.

I really didn't expect it, obviously there was still a chance to move forward with the ball, but Xia Xing actually chose to pass the ball.

And it's also looking for the most inconspicuous Ighalo of the game.

You know, it was just Odion Ighalo's first shot of the game.

Are we going to lose this game...... (End of chapter)
